> I was in the courtroom. Carlos wasn’t. ​ 🙂 … I’ve been asked about this ridiculous rumor for the past two days by half a dozen people. … To me the REAL big story here is asking where Carlos Pedraza is getting his inside information from. There were EIGHT people in that courtroom on Friday: me, Erin Rahanan and Kelly Oki from Winston & Strawn, Jonathan Zavin and David Grossman from Loeb & Loeb, the judge, the clerk, and the court stenographer. \\ \\ I’m pretty sure the last three didn’t run and tell Carlos what was said during the hearing. I know that I didn’t tell him. I’m pretty sure Erin and Kelly didn’t tell him because, honestly, they don’t even tell ME jack shat! (And trust me, I’ve been trying!!!) So that leaves the Loeb & Loeb attorneys. I’m not sure which of them (or both) is feeding Carlos information about the case to disseminate to the masses, but the reason why is obvious: the studios need to find a way to drum up some support and sympathy from the fans. Carlos is a PR vehicle for them.((Jonathan Lane comment, [[http://​fanfilmfactor.com/​2016/​10/​23/​axanar-lawsuit-discovery-ruling-what-does-it-all-mean-part-1/#​comment-1248|"​Axanar lawsuit discovery ruling – what does it all mean?

Loeb attorneys have not responded to **AxaMonitor**'​s repeated requests for interviews, just as Winston'​s have not; Editor Carlos Pedraza has no relationship with any of the attorneys. AxaMonitor obtained its information the old-fashioned way: feet-on-the-beat reporting. {{:​axamonitor-ico.gif?​nolink|}}
